In June 2020, Moussi sharply criticized speaker of the parliament Rached Ghannouchi and his political party the Ennahda Movement for his ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and for spreading Islamist ideology in Tunisia. Moussi claimed that Ghannouchi were trying to divide Tunisians based on religious views and re-write Tunisian history.

In the 2019 legislative election she was again candidate, this time she was head of the list of her party in the second constituency, she got 15.8% (26.076 votes) and came in second place just after the Heart of Tunisia list, she got elected deputy.

Abir Moussi was the candidate of her party to the 2019 presidential election where she got 4% of the votes (135,461 votes) and came in 9th place and therefore eliminated since the first round. She was the woman who got the most votes in a presidential elections in Tunisia's history.

Moussi has declared herself opposed to the decriminalization of homosexuality. On 16 August 2018, the NGO Association of Help, Homosexual Defense for the Equality of Sexual Orientations (ADHEOS) called for Moussi to be banned from the Schengen Area following homophobic and hate speech, in which she called for the systematic imprisonment of homosexuals, whom she associated with criminals. The NGO also called on the authorities to take measures to protect the rights of homosexuals in the Schengen area. In March 2019, Moussi declared in an interview with the Pan-African Jeune Afrique magazine "I will not legislate on people's privacy. I will ban anal testing, except for rape and felony".

In the 2014 legislative election, Abir Moussi was the president of the electoral liste of the Free Destourian Party in the constituency of Béja, her list got 1.05% (836 votes) and she failed to enter the parliament.

On 10 January 2010, she was appointed Assistant Secretary General in charge of Women at RCD. Following the fall of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali's regime and the dissolution of the RCD in 2011, which she opposed as a lawyer, Moussi joined the Destourian Movement, founded by former Prime Minister Hamed Karoui. On 13 August 2016, Moussi was appointed President of the Destourian Movement, renamed the Free Destourian Party. Regularly referred to as an extreme right-wing party, the latter brings together sympathisers of the former Democratic Constitutional Rally which dominated the country before the revolution. She therefore does not recognize the 2014 Constitution and advocates for the establishment of a presidential system.
